Either it was his last day on the job.... OR There is hope for the world There is hope in the world, he's still there as far as I know. It is clear that he is expecting it to be shown on Youtube (he mentions it at one point) He must deliver this many times per day and is of course, one of the roles he is paid to provide. It's probably 6 years since I was last at the Tower and recently I suggested to a few friends that we went along. The big unknown secret is the Ceremony of the Keys - "performed" every night since 1340. If you write to the Tower giving several months notice and a little flexibility on dates you can apply for a pass to observe the ceremony. It only takes a few minutes, but the explanation (by a Yeoman Warder) and time to get in and out occupy a good slice of an evening. If you're a patriot and into all the "stuff and nonesense", it's a memorable occasion and well worth putting on the "must do" list www.trooping-the-colour.co.uk/keys/index.htm |
